Luggage Boy Luggage on wheels…kudos to the inventor
October 5th, 2010
Luggage Boy And the creator of rolling luggage is … ? I’ll rarely link to press releases here (we get too many and most of them are too boring), but this morning, luggage manufacturer Briggs & Riley caught my eye by claiming A.) October is the 40th anniversary of wheeled luggage and B.) they invented wheeled luggage.

Looking For On-The-Go Portability? Try A Travel Cup Holder

Many of you will be traveling during the upcoming July 4 weekend. I love to travel however, one of the most annoying aspects is having to balance carrying luggage, any souvenirs and a drink. Chances are pretty high that you’ve found yourself racing through the airport, bus or train station with all of these items (and maybe more) in tow. The most common result is dropping at least one of them. Worst case scenario, you drop and spill your drink. Uh Oh!
It’s happened to me while at the airport and it can be frustrating, not to mention time consuming to stop and search for napkins to clean it up. I wish that I had a travel cup holder, like the one pictured to the right. I actually discovered them while reading a post on Outblush.com.
This handy cup holder will fit between the upright bars of your rolling luggage. You can adjust it to fit a standard 20 oz. bottle, cup of coffee, baby bottle and other soft drinks. You can even unscrew it and store it in your carry-on when you don’t have a need for it. At just $12, it’s worth a try.
Can You Have Rolling Tobacco In Your Hand Luggage Without Having To Declare It?
January 19th, 2010
Luggage Boy I’m flying from Bristol to Geneva next month with my family and they don’t know i smoke. As i may have to share a suitcase with another member of the family i don’t want to have to hide them in there so will need to put them in hand luggage. Will I have to get them out at customs etc? Any info will be great. Thanks

Splurge vs. Steal: Carry-On Luggage

I went to sunny Florida during the Labor Day weekend. While I don’t really mind flying, I have to admit that I’m a little bit of a chicken when it comes to takeoffs (yes, I’m the passenger that holds the arm rest). After we’re high in the air, I relax and usually fall asleep.
I think the main reason why I’m not too stressed about flying is because I never check my bag. Who wants to deal with waiting for their luggage at baggage claim? Carry-on bags are definitely the way to go!!
During my layover, I couldn’t help but to notice the other passenger’s luggage. Some people have a really nice sense of style. With the holiday travel season right around the corner, now might be a good time to start making your travel arrangements. After you book your trip, you’ll need a nice carry-on bag. Whatever your budget, here are some carry-on bags for you.

What Are Good Brands Of (inexpensive, But Not Cheap) Luggage?
September 5th, 2009
Luggage Boy I am in need of a new luggage set. I only need a 21 inch and 26 inch rolling luggage. (of course sets might come with more, but that’s my main need) I have around $100 to spend on the set. I don’t want cheap luggage, but don’t have the money to spend on brands like Samsonite.
Some brands I’ve looked at are Protocol & American Tourister.
What are your opinions on those brands and are there any others that you’d recommend.
Thanks!
